I can not begin to say how moving this book is. How invested the reader gets in the characters, how wrenching it is when one is torn away.
Not only is the prose beautiful and the characters dynamic, but it's based in fact and gives a lot of insight in to women's roles in WWII.
This is an absolutely phenomenal novel by a very talented author, and I advise anyone looking to buy it to not give it a second thought and download it NOW.
